Previously, the DGCA issued a show-cause notice to IndiGo’s CEO Pieter Elbers, citing the airline for significant operational disruptions, highlighting “major lapses in planning, oversight, and resource management,” according to ANI.
The notice requires the CEO to explain the disruptions following a week of widespread cancellations and delays that have left thousands of passengers stranded across India.
